obama told us repeatedly that the tide of war is receding. this year he grandly declared that the entire war on terror must end. if he wants tomahawks to fly, he better have a good reason. tell it to the american people and get the support of representatives in congress the way george w. bush did for both the afghanistan and iraq wars. lauren, you know, this president often called the iraq war, the dumb war. >> well here he is in a very difficult spot. he was elected on the fact that he would slow down those wars, eventually grind them to a halt and now he is in the position of sending a message to assad by these missiles, not ground troops, but sending a message that we will not tolerate chemical warfare. so he is really, having to face becoming a hawk and the problem here i think, the media coverage of this is that the media was burned at the iraq war. they were given false information and ran with it and i think that there is a reluctance this time for people to say, yes, we need to go forward and we need to go forward very strongly. jon:
